If they weren’t going to be able to get at least a 2nd rounder for Walker or TD, then this was the smart play. Since we’re over the cap anyway, his salary is inconsequential to the overall picture, except to Dolan’s pocket, which is getting more full of $ every day Jeremy Lin plays like this.

I’m especially glad they kept Walker, who even though he has no brain, is a good rebounder and has done a passable job covering the likes of Lebron James when given the chance. I’m imagining a Knicks-Heat series in which Melo gets in foul trouble – if not Walker, who would guard LBJ? He’s way too big for Shump Shump, who would be best off on Wade anyway. And when we’re on offense, LBJ needs to be threatened with a 3 point shooter to prevent him from helping on every play.

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:11:55 +0000http://KnickerBlogger.Net/?p=9370#comment-364440agree with the dropoff in felton’s production as a reflection of the positive impact d’antoni’s offensive scheme can have on a PG’s performance…Duhon once broke knicks’ all-time one-game assist record with 22 I believe….and he no longer even remotely resembles an NBA player….

btw, this is an interesting schematic breakdown of a Lin-to-Landry alley-oop from the other night’s game…those who were saying earlier this season that the Knicks under d’antoni were not running players are clearly mistaken….they just had absolutely no one who could competently run them:
